    <description><![CDATA[Welcome. Here you can listen to the CD I recorded in February for the RPM challenge, "Love's Labour's Found". Like so many other projects, it took a lot of time and effort, but was incredibly rewarding. Several tracks have been nominated to be put on a "Hear Music Compilation" CD. RPMers can vote here

I was asked to write music for a play called "Love's Labour's Found," presented by the Redlands Regional Players. The CD is very diverse and has jazz, classical, folk, and blues influences. The Sonnets provide an interesting blending of music and spoken word. 

Since it had to be written and recorded so fast, it is a bit rough and unpolished in some areas, but that gives the music character. It's a subtle CD that has so far been well-received. 

I thank Yvonne Flack and Darcie Flansburg for providing an outlet for my musical creativity. I also thank Ryan Mills for his expressive percussion work heard on the first and last tracks, as well as Daniel Mulliken for his cello work, and stylistic influences. Also, JD Wiese for his brilliant singing and on-the-spot vocal arrangements done on Feste's Tune. Who needs a choir when you can get JD to sing all SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) parts? 

Thanks, also, to friends and family who are ever-supportive. ]]></description>
